Severe internal stress birefringence in PET injection molded parts
Fenómeno do problema
Transparent PET products show dense colored fringes under a polariscope, indicating a high internal stress level.
Análise das causas
Fast filling speed causes high molecular chain orientation that is not fully relaxed; mold temperature is low; cooling rate is too fast.
Solução
Reduce injection speed; increase mold temperature to 140-160°C; extend cooling time; anneal to eliminate stress.
Conclusão principal
PET birefringence is the optical manifestation of internal stress, especially important for optical-grade PET.
